Sprouts
Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
This week on Sprouts, we explore two instances when peace broke out on the battlefield.
First, the story of the impromptu but widespread unofficial Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I, as told by Dr. Stanley Weintraub.
And then, the story of the National Jubilee of Peace, the first major gathering of Civil War veterans from the North and South in 1911–50 years after the Battle of Bull Run at Manassass. Steve Pendlebury has the story, from the re-enactment held in Manassass, Virginia in 2011.
Featured speakers/guests:
Dr. Stanley Weintraub, historian, author and professor emeritus from Penn State University; Ken Elston, Peace Jubilee Re-Enactment Director; and Ed Clark, Manassass National Battlefield Superintendent.
